Azure Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

In the figure above, you can see that the AKS cluster contains nodes that are represented as virtual machines under the hood. The Autoscaler is the main component here. It scales up the node count when the cluster is under high load. It also scales the node down to a standard size when the cluster i..

From an operations standpoint, AKS provides automated cluster upgrades, node pool management, auto-scaling, and built-in high availability. Teams can run multiple node pools per cluster, mix VM sizes, use spot instances for cost optimization, and scale workloads automatically with the Kubernetes autoscaler and Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.

Security is a core design focus. AKS supports private clusters, network policies, Azure Policy for Kubernetes, workload identity, secrets integration with Azure Key Vault, and container image scanning through Microsoft Defender for Cloud. These features help organizations meet enterprise security and compliance requirements without heavy customization.

AKS is widely used for cloud-native applications, microservices, AI/ML workloads, and internal platforms. It serves as a foundation for platform engineering teams building internal developer platforms, often combined with GitOps tools like Flux or Argo CD and CI/CD systems such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
